Raised by Music

Your child’s musical journey – fully supported

Raising children in a nourishing and immersive musical environment supported by positive relationships develops creativity, problem solving and analytical skills, physical coordination, discipline, academic achievement and – most importantly, a sense of belonging, fulfilment and FUN!

Raised by Music is a small community foundation based in South London. Our mission is to nurture the highest standards of musicianship in young people, with a particular focus on broadening access to high quality music education and increasing participation in classical music from under-represented backgrounds.

Raised by Music at Immanuel & St. Andrew Primary School

Our 2024 cohort of Year 2 scholars at Immanuel & St. Andrew Primary started in February and are making fantastic progress! They have had a busy year, making their public performance debut at the ISA Young Musicians’ showcase, performing to their classes and performing at our 2024 Christmas fundraising concert.

All 5 of our scholars passed their first formal exam in November with distinction. We are so proud of you!

How does Raised by Music work?

Raised by Music not only offers its scholars 1:1 weekly lessons on their instrument with a leading industry professional but our scholars also attend a supervised practice session every day of the school term, delivered by Raised by Music assistant tutors. Instrumental lessons and practice sessions take place during the school day.

We expect families to support scholars’ practice at weekends and in school holidays, and we run workshops for parents/ carers to equip them with the skills needed to support practice at home.
